Malign mesothelioma and gelatinous pleural fluid
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Gelatinous or viscous pleural fluid can be seen in malignant mesothelioma. We reported a 65-year-old patient with mesothelioma, also diagnosed as non-hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Mini-thoracotomy was performed in order to get the fluid out, and to make pleurodesis. This patient had been followed up for four years then he died. Gelatinous fluid can be manageable well with surgery and pleurodesis and can be the messenger of long survival.
